    Sorry but this guy dancing reminds me of Elaine on Seinfeld dancing.

    That's the way I danced when waiting for my sister to get out of the bathroom!

    I got stopped by the cops for DUI. I did this dance for a field sopriety test. They took me to the hospital.

    I have to say it. These guys won a talent contest in their home town, got to appear on national TV. No videotaping, LIVE!! Knocked it out of the ballpark, went home and were hometown/high school heroes, at 15 years old! Graduated school in 1964, went their own ways with great memories on the road of life. That took GUTS to do what they did at 15. I wish them well, even after all these years.

    Man, hearing Ted Mack sounding a bit befuddled with what the youth were listening to back then kinda reminds me of my attitude with what the youth is listening to today.

    The singer of the Continentals is a real giant. The Continentals had deserved more recognition world wide.

    Incredible. The dancing, the drumming, the Fender guitars, the Pendleton shirts. How have I never seen this before?

    All these kids would be in their mid 70's now, time flies. They had a great group, love the drummer and the singers dance moves.
